  Who is the faithful and discreet slave?

  by wearewatchingyouman in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when i discuss things with my father regarding whether a governing body is needed for christians one theme that is constant with him is "if it's not the gb who is the faithful and discreet slave - who else is giving food in these days to god's people?".

  i've been working on a response to this for the last couple of months and am just curious as to who christians who are ex-witnesses interpret the faithful and discreet slave to be, and the parable in general.. .

  i guess i'm just looking to round out my argument and have a few different angles.

  the word is that everyone but the most senior members will be let go.

  Categories of Former Jehovah's Witnesses

  i was never disfellowshipped, but it's been about 10 years since i was an active jw.

  i've made an occasional meeting or half-day at an assembly here or there, strictly at the behest of family (maybe once a year), but i'm completely disconnected.

  more importantly, mentally i'm 100% free.. we all have a tendency to project our views and beliefs onto others, and tending to believe that other former jws share our views is no different.

  Greetings !

  Surely there exist that group of individuals who do obey Jesus Christ as Father wants (Matthew 17:5 )

  And obeying Jesus, they are seeking first God's Kingdom and God's righteusness as Jesus commanded (Mathew 6:33 )

  A Different View of "Peace and Security"

  by Bobcat in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  since the wt this week has the prediction of a "peace and security" event, i thought i would include a comment from the new american commentary (nac, d. michael martin, pp.159-60) on 1 thessalonians 5:2, 3.. here is the wt's position, according to this week's wt study (sep 2012 study edition, pp.3 4):.

  1 th 5:2, 3 is a "future development.".

  it happens "just before that day of jehovah.".

  "Paul's words are not describing the United Nations yelling "We have Peace and Security!" do they?"

  THAT is right !

  "We have the peace and the security" is what the "evil slave" (the GB) is crying (his motto ) - the essence and direction of his teachings , in order to blind others from God's will

  this just posted on a jw reform board at this link:.

  http://meletivivlon.com/2013/10/13/remember-those-who-instructed-you/#comment-4950.

  see acts 20:26-28.. if we do not speak out now, at this time, then no elder in any body of elders from around the world, will be able to repeat the words of paul, with a clear conscience.

  Jesus Christ is King even before 1914 so Why the Need to...

  by ProfCNJ in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  good morning folks!

  i have believed in the 1914 jw core teaching for more than 20 years.

  but now, after seeing much about this date, i find it uncomfortable and odd to believe it unquestionably, much less defend it against opposing thoughts.

  .

  Indeed, it has been proved that Jesus is King ruling in Heavens immediate after His resurrection.

  The 1914 has no value , together with all the "maths" used to support it.

  Speaking "biblically" , the whole interpretation leading to "1914" is beyond "the teaching of Christ" / 2 John1:9 .
